When planning this posting – a follow-up to the last, which focused in good measure on the Netanyahu-Trump meeting as it pertained to Iran – my intention was to look at the implications of that meeting with regard to Gaza.
Peloni: The foul sickness of Jew Hatred which has taken hold in the psyches of many in our current age is a frightening and growing event. Where it might lead and how it might end is clearly uncertain at this point, but if past proves prophetic as is too often true, we are facing an ever greater calamity which will forever cast a shade of shame for those inheriting the mantle of the Greatest Generation which recognized this soiling scourge as a clear death knell of morality and decency. As the chants for the annihilation of the Jews of Israel are followed by Jew Hunts in Amsterdam, Jew Shaming in Harvard, Jew Ransoming in Gaza and Jew Slaughter in Australia, the grand old generation which made an easy transition from defeating the Nazis to defying the Communists could only look down in shame at the rogues which are filling the streets of the modern world which were paved with the cost and privilege of facing down the very evil which is today made more and more commonplace among people we know and whom we once considered to be honest and good folks, only to find that they have morphed into the fountains of Jew Hating propaganda which would have made them the pride of Goebbles.
The charge was as ugly as it was predictable, reaching reflexively for conspiracy when accountability proved inconvenient.

The first reaction from Nicolás Maduro’s allies was not denial, reflection or even outrage over the mechanics of his reported rendition. It was an accusation. Almost immediately, regime figures and sympathetic outlets claimed the operation bore “Zionist fingerprints”—that it was inspired, guided or orchestrated by Israel. The charge was as ugly as it was predictable, reaching reflexively for conspiracy when accountability proved inconvenient.

Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz on Friday made a constitutional case against requiring congressional approval before limited U.S. military actions.
Peloni: It is one of the great perversions of our age that the Muslim Brotherhood Turks would expect, much less be offered, any position within the key strategic position in Gaza. While this was always true, the relevance of the threat of offering them such close access to Israel becomes all the more obtuse and obviously unacceptable when the statements of Erdogan’s intent of retaking Jerusalem lies fresh upon the headlines. This, in combination with their close association with Jolani’s Syrian govt, an association reaffirmed in recent days as the conquest of the Kurds has been put into play, should make any suggestion of Turkey taking a role in Gaza to be completely inexplicable.
Pro-Israel organization says Turkey’s documented support for Hamas disqualifies Ankara from participation in post war Gaza security or reconstruction efforts.

NEW YORK — A leading pro-Israel organization has come out strongly against the possible deployment of Turkish soldiers to Gaza as part of a proposed International Stabilization Force, warning that Ankara’s longstanding ties to Hamas make it fundamentally unfit to play any role in Gaza’s future security or reconstruction.

Opponents of socialism often cite Cuba, Venezuela, and the former Soviet Union as evidence that the system “doesn’t work.” They argue that, unlike earlier economic arrangements — slavery, feudalism, and capitalism — each of which was explicitly organized around producing wealth, and each of those systems was superior to its predecessor in its capacity to generate it, socialism has failed to create a higher level of economic prosperity.

Peloni: The comedy of the Lebanese being able to disarm Hezbollah has finally lost its support among Washington. The report below references “an expanded Israeli air campaign” but the truth is that dislodging Hezbollah from its positions south of the Litani will require more than an air campaign, even an expanded air campaign. So is this “Washington approved” assault intended to achieve this goal? When Israel was forced to agree to the ceasefire arrangement, they were well positioned on Lebanese territory. If the limit of this campaign is to be an aerial assault, Hezbollah will not surrender its presence in this area.
As Lebanon fails to meet disarmament obligations, Israel prepares decisive action with American support.

A decisive moment is taking shape on Israel’s northern border. After years of warnings, deadlines, and broken promises, Israel is signaling that patience has run out and this time, it is doing so with clear backing from Washington.

Peloni: As the Iranian regime cuts off all connection with the outside world, they sent in regular IRGC troops to shut down the riots as they play reruns of their favorite podcaster, TUCKER CARLSON. Of course, why wouldn’t the Mullahs promote propaganda which supports their grip on power when that grip is at meeting its greatest challenge, arguably ever.
In Iran right now:
• No internet
• No phone calls
• No communication with the outside worldYet the Islamic regime’s main state broadcaster is airing and promoting Tucker Carlson.

Peloni: The path towards peace will be best served by Israel recognizing and focusing on its own strengths. Eliminating foreign capacities while maximizing Israeli strength and willingness to employ that strength with devastating efficiency is what will bring peace. Having cooperative partners in power throughout the region within whom to effect such a peace is likewise necessary, as recognizing that Muslim Brotherhood idealogues will never accept peace under any circumstance other than that of a hudna, making such negotiations a fool’s errand as Sha’i explains below.

The list of peace plans for the Jewish nation in the land they brought back to life is lengthy. The first was 1922’s League of Nations’ Palestine Mandate that twice referenced the “historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine” as the “grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country.”
Peloni: Will there be a second go at the govt of spare parts? I doubt it, but time will tell.

A major part of any leadership, which greedy, self-serving globalist politicians have forgotten (if they ever knew it at all), is to protect a country’s citizens. Israel has faced an existential threat since the day of its founding from the neighboring Muslim countries. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is unwavering in his leadership. His focus on Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood, both of which seek to annihilate the Jewish state, is prudent. “Netanyahu vows to block Iran’s nuclear ambitions, accuses opposition of courting Muslim Brotherhood,” by Keshet Neev, Jerusalem Post, January 5, 2026:

A Texas-led legal action argues that groups accused of aligning with Hamas should face accountability under US anti terrorism laws.

AUSTIN — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed an amicus brief in support of victims of Hamas terrorism, targeting American Muslims for Palestine and other radical groups that authorities allege have aligned themselves with Hamas and its ideology. The brief, announced January 6, 2026, forms part of a multistate legal effort intended to ensure that US anti-terrorism laws are enforced against those accused of providing material or organizational support to designated terrorist entities.
Peloni: There can be no substitute for the extension of sovereignty over Israel’s heartlands. This is the point raised by the Sovereignty Movement’s Nadia Matar in an interview with JNS. Nadia makes the case so well as described here. Everything that has been achieved in Judea and Samaria could and likely will be undone with the next rise of a Leftist govt. To defeat this very real threat, the Israeli govt has only to do as it should have done on the day following the Six Day War, ie extending sovereignty over these lands by Israel which is the only entity which has an internationally recognized right to do so.

Peloni: Mike Doran and Yishai Fleisher give a detailed look back over the past year. As they do so, Mike discusses how the Israeli military has no interest in removing Hamas as it would only create a void for something similar to fill. What he fails to address is that this is the very opposite of what Netanyahu has pledged, and is still holding firm, on accomplishing. The conflict on this point exists between the upper eschelons of the Israeli military brass and the Americans on one side, with Israel’s political govt and the Israeli people on the other, making for an interesting segue into 2026. Much more than this is covered in this conversation.

The Paris Accord aimed at providing security and economic guarantees for Ukraine is a strange agreement. If it is taken seriously, it will convince the Russians to change their strategy in Ukraine, meaning the Russians may well decide to try and take over all of Ukraine. The Accord gives nothing at all to Russia, which was probably its intent. It has the same bad smell as the Versailles Treaty, which the US Senate rejected.
